Sequence-specific and visual identification of the influenza virus NS gene by azobenzene-tethered bis-peptide nucleic acid.

To rapidly and specifically identify highly virulent influenza virus strains, we prepared an azobenzene-tethered hairpin-type peptide nucleic acid, bisPNA-AZO, which has a complementary sequence against a highly conserved genomic RNA sequence within the ribonucleoprotein complex of the 2009 pandemic...
